| Additional information |
Sudan's 1983 coinage sits at a politically volatile moment: this was the year Nimeiry imposed September Laws, instituting sharia across the country and renaming the central bank from Bank of Sudan to Bank of Sudan under an Islamization drive that would reshape the entire currency system within a few years. The reduced-size format for this denomination was itself a cost-cutting measure as Sudan's economy buckled under debt and falling oil revenues.
